Maths game of the week

Science!

A big part of being a scientist involves testing and observation. This week we are collecting large, clear bottles, such as Pump or Soda bottles, in order to make a device that will help us measure rainfall. If you have any on hand, please make sure they are clean, and then bring them in to school.

We are also going to be out and about around the school, observing conditions that could potentially lead to flooding. It would be best if all students came with a raincoat or umbrella and suitable shoes.

Look at our sculpture!

More sculpture from Room 4

We have created interlocking, interchangeable parts that can be sculpted into shapes. Another new technique learned!
